Use the ultrasonic as the last phase in the cleaning process.
You need to fully strip and degrease the carbs as normal prior to using the ultrasonic.
After much experimentation I found plain hot water works best with maybe a small amount of detergent (fairy liquid).
Blow them through with the airline as the final step.

I've had some good results with this stuff;

But as Rob says, you'll get better results if the carbs are thoroughly degreased first.

Here's some from TLC's Z1000J that I did a couple of years back.
